Summary: Ray is confused when he finds Diefenbaker acting as a doorstop at Fraser's apartment.
Author's Note:  Due South/Torchwood crossover.  Written for travels_in_time

Ray walked down the hall to Fraser’s apartment, rapping on the door before pushing it open, like always.  But this time it only opened an inch.  He peered through the crack at the furry doorstop. 

“Deif?  What’ca doing?  Hey Benny, let me in!”

Blushing, and decidedly rumpled, Fraser finally opened the door.

A stranger grabbed Ray’s hand and shook it firmly.  “You must be Ray,” the man said, smiling.  “Benton’s told me all about you.  Sorry, gotta go.  I’m running late.  We lost track of time, errr, catching up.  Later, Benton!” 

Then he left, questions and confusion swirling behind him.

Well, knock-and-walk-in is more of a Vecchio thing. Oh, wait! It has to be Vecchio, because...uhm, how to put this so it's not spoilery...Fraser's living somewhere else during RayK's time.

[travels-in-time.livejournal.com]

Oh, yeah. I did read the transcripts of the first few eps of RayK, so I know where he was staying. But he doesn't get another apartment for the rest of the series? How very depressing. And how very...Jack inna Hub.

And if I'm evil for starting this, then I'm nominating the two of you, plus rustydog, for some sort of Triple Evil award. I blame the three of you for the fact that my Jack/Fraser fic is taking definite shape.

And how very...Jack inna Hub.

Ooh, it is! It really is. (He was probably staying with RayK a lot, actually. That's my story, anyway.)

I will take my share of that blame and be happy about it!

[travels-in-time.livejournal.com]

Well, I'd like to believe that Jack was staying with Ianto a lot, too.

I can't quite make myself believe that, but I'd *like* to...

::nods:: I could be persuaded of that, sorta.

...and now I want to write crack-DS where Stella is a serial killer and Fraser has to shoot her right in front of Ray. And then there's a scene with a stopwatch. Or some appropriate Canadian prop.

Fraser does have his dad's watch...

[travels-in-time.livejournal.com]

You're KIDDING, right?

[donutsweeper.livejournal.com]

No, it's in the episode with Leslie Neilson (Buck Frobeser (sp?))... It's a wristwatch, but I think they make a comment about it being extremely accurate

[travels-in-time.livejournal.com]

That's beautiful. That would definitely be the bad crack.

[donutsweeper.livejournal.com]

You say crack like it's a bad thing....

[travels-in-time.livejournal.com]

...now I'm trying to figure out who's the rest of the team. And who gets to be the pizza girl.

And on that note, I gotta go to bed.

*sigh* and here I am, stuck trying to write for Bob and Jack...

Sleep well! (evil bugger)

Frobisher? Just guessing.

[donutsweeper.livejournal.com]

according to wikipedia you're right! Apparently the character was names after a famous Canadian explorer.

[hellenebright.livejournal.com]

I had thought he was named after *that* Frobisher.

[donutsweeper.livejournal.com]

It hadn't occurred to me before, but you are 100% correct. Supposedly "The names 'Fraser' and 'Frobisher' are references to Canadian explorers, both connected to the search for commercial passages to the Pacific. Simon Fraser journeyed from the Rocky Mountains to the Pacific Ocean in 1808. However, the Fraser River (named after him) turned out to be unusable as a trade route. Sir Martin Frobisher was a 16th Century explorer who attempted three voyages in search of a Northwest Passage, but did not make it further than Northeastern Canada"

[hellenebright.livejournal.com]

And of course at the very end of the last series, Ray K and Fraser load up with tack and tallow, hitch up the dogs, and head out:-

Ah for just one time I would take the Northwest Passage
To find the hand of Franklin reaching for the Beaufort Sea
Tracing one warm line through a land so wild and savage
And make a Northwest Passage to the sea

Through the night, behind the wheel, the mileage clicking west
I think upon Mackenzie, David Thompson and the rest
Who cracked the mountain ramparts and showed a path for me
to race the roaring Fraser to the sea

How then am I so different from the first men to this way
Like them I led a sheltered life and threw it all away
To seek a Northwest Passage at the call of many men
To find there but the road back home again

YES PLZ.

Ha, really? I feel like I'm a member of an exclusive club! Some say we're evil, some say we're out to make the world a better place with more Jack/Fraser fic. *g*

I learned today that due South is on Netflix now. I blame you for the fact that I am never, ever going to finish my queue or get to all those nature documentaries hanging out at the bottom, betting bumped behind shows that were on TV years ago. :)

[donutsweeper.livejournal.com]

I just saw that (about the Netflix) too. I'm so excited!!!

It's nice to have company in "Club Evil" there are good donuts in the club house
